OAKLAND, Calif. — Don Nelson believes his Warriors will be much better one day down the road. Golden State’s veteran coach made it clear he doesn’t expect to reach the playoffs just before watching his team have a major meltdown against Miami.

Chris Quinn hit a tying 3-pointer with 7.1 seconds left in overtime, Michael Beasley stole the ensuing inbounds pass and made the decisive free throw, and the Heat pulled off a wild 130-129 comeback win over the Warriors on Monday night.

“Well it was a whale of a game, wasn’t it?” Nelson said. “We sure gave it away at the end. Couple of breakdowns just at the wrong time. I thought we had the game won. ... It will be a hard loss to get over.”

Jamal Crawford missed a running jumper at the buzzer and sprawled himself on the court in frustration as the Warriors dropped their seventh straight game. Crawford is winless since joining Golden State in a trade from New York on Nov. 21 that sent Al Harrington to the Knicks.

Crawford scored six of his 40 points in overtime and dished out seven assists.

Udonis Haslem scored on a putback for Miami at the buzzer to force the extra session.

With his team up 125-123 with 28.8 seconds left in OT, Golden State’s Ronny Turiaf swatted Dwyane Wade for his fifth block of the game. Wade converted a three-point play with 15.1 seconds to go that cut it to 127-126 before Crawford hit two free throws on the other end.

Wade finished with 37 points and 13 assists, and Haslem and Shawn Marion each had 21 points. Beasley, who jumped in front of Andris Biedrins’ inbounds pass at the end, added 19 points and six rebounds.

“It’s good for us to step up and help Dwyane pull out a game at the end,” Quinn said. “Dwyane puts us on his back enough and obviously he did some of that tonight, but for some of us to help him step up and knock down some shots and make some big plays helps.”

Bobcats 100, Timberwolves 90

At Charlotte, N.C., Jason Richardson scored 25 points in another strong performance after being sidelined with knee trouble, leading the suddenly efficient Bobcats to a 100-90 win.

After starting 3-9, the Bobcats have won three of their last five games, with a close loss to defending champion Boston during that stretch. In his record ninth NBA head coaching job, Larry Brown appears to be making progress with a team that won only 32 games under Sam Vincent last season.

Emeka Okafor, often invisible in the paint this season, added a season-high 24 points on 9-of-14 shooting.

Celtics 107, Magic 88

At Boston, Paul Pierce scored 17 of his 24 points in the third quarter to lead the defending champion Celtics to their ninth straight win.

Ray Allen added 21 points, Rajon Rondo had 16 points with 12 assists and Kevin Garnett scored 15 points for the Celtics (17-2).

Rashard Lewis paced Orlando with 30 points, Hedo Turkoglu scored 19 and Dwight Howard, the league’s rebounding leader, had 14 points with 15 boards.

The Magic’s four-game overall winning streak ended, as did a six-game road win streak which was one short of a club record.
